inb4 a new addition to the main article regarding that the 6 looks like a giraffe getting a blowjob by a woman. it has started spreading as a joke on the internet. KRISHANKO ( talk) 00:08, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
it will eventually have to be put in the article when the logo goes mainstream (and obviously, fox news is on it)

So Leon, as we all know, saved Ashley from that village somewhere on the coast of Spain in Resident Evil 4. In the trailer for Resident Evil 6, we see him facing off against the zombified president--Ashley's father. So Leon's obviously in the White House, where the president and his family live, but we don't see Ashley. Where is she? Did she die? Is she trapped in her university in Massachusetts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.15.95.18 ( talk) 00:49, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
- its kinda funny how this man has stayed in office for seemingly 3 terms. he was probably the president during RC, and in his re-election shut down umbrella, and now he is (seemingly still shown as president. many (yes, weasel talk because there is no information) fans theorize the blonde with the merc is ashley. i reject this theory because... what would ashley be doing wherever the game takes place? KRISHANKO ( talk) 04:34, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
The Blonde Girl is actually Sherry Birkin in the new trailer realised yesterday, leon says "Sherry?" and she answers by the name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leon5555555 ( talk • contribs) 00:38, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
Nintendo and Capcom are working a lot closer together as of late, especially releasing a number of high-profile games for the Nintendo 3DS, including two exclusive Resident Evil games, and with more 3DS Resi games to be expected in the future as well. ( Source) Considering the release date of Resident Evil 6 in late 2012, it should not be surprising if Capcom would announce the game is coming for the Wii U at some point. What is really surprising is them not announcing a Wii U port alongside the other HD console versions at all! This should be an interesting note.
There was also a time when Capcom attempted to see what would Resident Evil 5 look like on the Wii, using the Resident Evil 4 engine. Of course, it did not really out-shine the HD variants, but it still looked impressive for a Wii game all the same. It was really a shame it was just an experiment on Capcom's behalf, and not an actual decision to port the game for Wii. Hope(N Forever) ( talk) 16:36, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
The real enemy is called Carla Radames and it is named as "Ada Wong Clone" here is the info and it is also in Capcom's official blog and RE wiki http://www.relyonhorror.com/latest-news/resident-evil-news/resident-evil-6-leaked-character-list-from-a-few-months-back-seems-to-have-been-real/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leon5555555 ( talk • contribs) 00:33, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
how come theres no section for the game being released in poland a few days ago? KRISHANKO ( talk) 06:35, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
Oh, it's legit. [1] Spartan198 ( talk) 10:37, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
NEOGO is the official website of NEO Plus. Also of course it's not a "German copy", IGN is being idiotic as usual. The box is in German, though (and oddly). You should just read the original article, instead of some Chinese-whispers retellings. Oh, and if by "translation department" you meant this of Cenega, and not IGN, it's simply the Polish letter ż and it's all fine (and ź also exists, but "że" has a ż). -- Niemti ( talk) 21:31, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
Due to the nature of the game - four long campaigns not chronologically distinct - I feel that we should consider re-writing the section to focus on these campaigns, as a general Plot summary would be hard to write. Why I think it would be hard to write is the point that they are not chronologically-distinct, with some parts occuring months before others, yet alongside other campaigns. Simply structuring it as "Meanwhile, in Leon's campaign...", ignores the concept altogether, making it particularly-confusing when the section is expanded after launch: Leon meeting Jake earlier in the campaign than vice versa gives the impression that Jake's campaign takes place over a few days. That, in itself, leads to further problems when Chris' campaign involves exploring Edonia some six months prior to Leon's campaign. Overall, I'm saying we should consider restructuring, but I won't do it unless I know there's some agreement to it.-- OsirisV ( talk) 08:41, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
There are multiple instances of edit trolling in this article. I think it needs to be locked from general editing for the time being. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.102.110.129 ( talk) 22:25, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
It's not just the giraffe stuff. Various times have I seen genre get switched around and every so often I will notice a sentence that makes a claim that the game sucks. It's just little things trolls like to do. It has become a problem and I think a lock may be necessary if the instance does get worse. Otherwise, if things mellow out a lock shouldn't be necessary. But that's just me. LegendaryDarkKnight45 ( talk) 17:23, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
I think this article deserves to show how bad fans over the world are reacting to this game. http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/resident-evil-6 http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/resident-evil-6 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.155.3.4 ( talk) 20:29, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
The article will have an appropriate reception section in time, but rushing to something or simply saying something can be a very bad edit, or even tantamount to vandalism. Be patient. Incidentally, it is not being bashed completely, as you have stated. The reaction is 'mixed' not 'negative. -- ProtoDrake ( talk) 20:37, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
He meant the massive trolling in the so-called "user reviews". -- Niemti ( talk) 21:08, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
I don't think that that should really be taken into consideration. One, the user reviews (and professional reviews in general) are all just opinions of an individual or group all being placed onto some number scale. Two, It's not like you see somebody give the game a 2 and suddenly it should turn you off by it. It's all opinions. It's not like there wasn't a game you've played that you enjoyed and yet many considered it "sucked". Or say there was one from the opposite side. It's really nothing new. Call of Duty, Battlefield, Final Fantasy, etc. all have their fans and haters. It's just the trolls make their opinions more verbal than fans do when something is dead-on popular. LegendaryDarkKnight45 ( talk) 01:11, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
As I said, it's Internet trolling. It's China-Japan crisis related, btw. -- Niemti ( talk) 17:29, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
Also one of the reasons I added the Hiroyuki Kobayashi comment was not just it being a developer response but an acknowledgment of "fan reception" being an apparent issue. I'd consider that more a point of reference than trolls on Metacritic. Stabby Joe ( talk) 23:00, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
They're not even "complaining about the gamne", it's CHINESE TROLLING. How many times should I repeat it? -- Niemti ( talk) 16:36, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
I'm adding in this section so that we can come to a proper consensus regarding what genre to define this game as.
On the one hand, we have the 'dramatic' crowd, who say that because the developers did not intend it to be a Survival Horror title, it should not be defined as such here. To this group, saying that the game is a Survival Horror title goes against the conventions of the genre; the intentions of the developers and would be considered simply original research.
The other side, in support of 'Survival Horror', maintains that the series itself is of that genre, and that all reviewers define horror games as 'survival', regardless of whether or not the titles actually conform with the original description (as is the case of Resident Evil 5).-- OsirisV ( talk) 21:27, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
Use what reliable, secondary sources are calling it. So not Capcom. Also, it's fine to include more than one genre definition: both "survival horror" and say "action adventure" are not mutually exclusive. bridies ( talk) 12:12, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
Ditto. Use what secondary sources say, not how Capcom promotes it. — HELLKNOWZ ▎ TALK 12:57, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
I think it's safe to assume that RE6 is basically an Action/Adventure game with zombies, sadly. -- Arkhandar ( talk) 16:26, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
As many have said before, go by what secondary sources are saying. Capcom is rather biased in most scenarios regarding the game; they're trying to sell it. As such, we shouldn't go by their buzzwords. Sergecross73 msg me 05:10, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
I think it was Capcom who invented the whole "survival horror" thing, but the difference is that "dramatic horror" is only used by them for now. It's not a proper GENRE, right now. -- Niemti ( talk) 17:46, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
Probably action-adventure, third-person shooter (just "horror video games" in the categories). -- Niemti ( talk) 20:35, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
But apart from "survival horror" versus "third-person action-adventure" issues, it's like I said earlier: I think you could make some sort of claim regarding what Capcom was trying to present or what Capcom's goal was in the development section of this article as long as it's properly sourced, attributed, and given proper context. i.e. you can't say "Capcom created a dramatic horror game[1] that reviewers claimed was just a third-person action-adventure[2]", but instead you'd have to say "Capcom's goal in developing this title was to create a new 'dramatic horror' genre,[1] however critics reviewing the final product regarded it an example of third-person action-adventure.[2]" It's certainly appropriate to mention the developer's intentions but we shouldn't use their claims as proof of how it actually turned out. - Thibbs ( talk) 02:12, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, pretty much. In dev section or in reception, or both. -- Niemti ( talk) 17:00, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
Use "survival horror." Using available approved sources: Edge tagged "action," "adventure." EGM still calls it "survival horror," contending that the term's more about psychological aspects than the gameplay. OXM calls it a horror-shooter. Verdict: The critical disagreement on genre itself is notable. All articles note the RE series' synonymity with "survival horror"—the game still fits within the rules of "survival horror" (even if barely) and should be listed as such alongside its notable aforementioned caveat. Until Capcom gets its wish and popularizes the "dramatic horror" neologism or we get our wish and a RS publishes on this very topic, we have to go with what we have. czar · · 06:05, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
Have you people heard there is a popular rumour floating about stating that Resident Evil 6 will have a follow-up game called Resident Evil: Final Hope (which is supposedly akin to Resident Evil 5 Gold) and that it will follow a story centred around Claire Redfield? Additionally, rumour states that this game will appear on all current HD platforms (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PCs) with the Wii U version having exclusive GamePad features, and is supposedly going to be the "best" version of Resident Evil 6. The follow-up game will also provide clues to a potential Resident Evil 7 sequel or something. Source - also includes details about other believable future Resident Evil releases Hope(N Forever) ( talk) 13:31, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
The article currently states that the Windows version is in development, this has now finished and the game is due for release on 22-March-2013, this is stated in the summary but not the main article. I believe is would be appropriate to include this information in the main text or at least wait until the 22nd and update the article. Therealmadferret ( talk) 19:23, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
Can someone add reference to this in the Downloadable content section as it is currently absent. Thanks ツ Jenova 20 ( email) 09:05, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
Unless there's a reliable source (Playstation or Capcom) I think the writer got the date mixed up with another game; quick Google research suggests this is the release date for the Origins collection on these consoles, not RE6. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.146.225.12 ( talk) 20:48, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
The article is well-written, but it is missing a lot of information. The lead does not summarize the entire article, and both the gameplay and development section do not have enough information, and the scope of the reception section is too narrow. I am going leave the article on hold for a week. When all the issues mentioned above are addressed, the article should be good to go! AdrianGamer ( talk) 07:27, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
I removed the 'Sequel' section. Resident Evil 7 is not a direct sequel to Resident Evil 6 and will focus on another set characters. [24] RE7 will be set in the same universe and will be canon. Resident Evil Revelations 2 is probably a closer sequel to Resident Evil 6, as it actually focuses on characters from the main RE story-line. Moreover, the RE3, RE4 ,and RE5 articles do not have a sequel section. The continuity of the series should be mentioned in the main article. -- StarScream1007 ►Talk 18:06, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
Adngel:
Agree, RE7 is too disconnected to be considered a RE6 sequel, and there are not reason to mention it specifically nor consider it like sequel:
Over that, in June of 2017 was released a CGI movie Resident Evil: Vendetta on exclusive cinema events, this movie aimed to follow the Resident Evil 6 path and during its presentation during the Tokyo Game Show 2016, the own producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi, described it like the Resident Evil 6 sequel which was going to be loved by the Resident Evil 6 fans. Such presentation can be watched between the extras the bluray version.
If the mention of Resident Evil 7 persists, I think it will more accurate do the same with the other games that were released in the same period, (specially Resident Evil Revelations 2 which was an more direct answer to the RE6 feedback and RE: Vendetta which is much more related to RE6 than RE7 or Umbrella Corps). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adngel ( talk • contribs) 23:08, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
This article has a done a very solid job at describing Resident Evil 6 in great detail. All information has proper citations and reliable sources. The sources are interviews and other articles relating to the game. The viewpoints are very neatural I don't feel any sort of bias from reading the article which is really great. Music reviewers really could take a lesson from everyone that's contributed to this page. Everything in the Article is related to the topic. Suggestion 1: for an addition to the gameplay mechanic: Further describe the J'avo enemies by stating that during the game, they're susceptible to transformations based on the locations of their injury. Making them a harder threat to deal with than regular zombies Suggestion 2: The reception job does an amazing job talking about the game's reception to the public. However If I were to make a suggestion here I'd say it'd probably be worth while to add a few more quotes or testimonials for examples of what those have said about the game. Suggestion 3: The article definitely feels like it has a lot more room for pictures and other screenshots from the game. I think the article has a few good pictures but there could've been more to further illustrate different elements in the game. Welshtor ( talk) 20:11, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

But apart from "survival horror" versus "third-person action-adventure" issues, it's like I said earlier: I think you could make some sort of claim regarding what Capcom was trying to present or what Capcom's goal was in the development section of this article as long as it's properly sourced, attributed, and given proper context. i.e. you can't say "Capcom created a dramatic horror game[1] that reviewers claimed was just a third-person action-adventure[2]", but instead you'd have to say "Capcom's goal in developing this title was to create a new 'dramatic horror' genre,[1] however critics reviewing the final product regarded it an example of third-person action-adventure.[2]" It's certainly appropriate to mention the developer's intentions but we shouldn't use their claims as proof of how it actually turned out. - Thibbs ( talk) 02:12, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, pretty much. In dev section or in reception, or both. -- Niemti ( talk) 17:00, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
Use "survival horror." Using available approved sources: Edge tagged "action," "adventure." EGM still calls it "survival horror," contending that the term's more about psychological aspects than the gameplay. OXM calls it a horror-shooter. Verdict: The critical disagreement on genre itself is notable. All articles note the RE series' synonymity with "survival horror"—the game still fits within the rules of "survival horror" (even if barely) and should be listed as such alongside its notable aforementioned caveat. Until Capcom gets its wish and popularizes the "dramatic horror" neologism or we get our wish and a RS publishes on this very topic, we have to go with what we have. czar · · 06:05, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
Have you people heard there is a popular rumour floating about stating that Resident Evil 6 will have a follow-up game called Resident Evil: Final Hope (which is supposedly akin to Resident Evil 5 Gold) and that it will follow a story centred around Claire Redfield? Additionally, rumour states that this game will appear on all current HD platforms (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PCs) with the Wii U version having exclusive GamePad features, and is supposedly going to be the "best" version of Resident Evil 6. The follow-up game will also provide clues to a potential Resident Evil 7 sequel or something.

The article currently states that the Windows version is in development, this has now finished and the game is due for release on 22-March-2013, this is stated in the summary but not the main article. I believe is would be appropriate to include this information in the main text or at least wait until the 22nd and update the article. Therealmadferret ( talk) 19:23, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
Can someone add reference to this in the Downloadable content section as it is currently absent. Thanks ツ Jenova 20 ( email) 09:05, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
Unless there's a reliable source (Playstation or Capcom) I think the writer got the date mixed up with another game; quick Google research suggests this is the release date for the Origins collection on these consoles, not RE6. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.146.225.12 ( talk) 20:48, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

I'll take this one as well. I always like reviewing big titles like this one.

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
The article is well-written, but it is missing a lot of information. The lead does not summarize the entire article, and both the gameplay and development section do not have enough information, and the scope of the reception section is too narrow. I am going leave the article on hold for a week. When all the issues mentioned above are addressed, the article should be good to go! AdrianGamer ( talk) 07:27, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
I removed the 'Sequel' section. Resident Evil 7 is not a direct sequel to Resident Evil 6 and will focus on another set characters. [24] RE7 will be set in the same universe and will be canon. Resident Evil Revelations 2 is probably a closer sequel to Resident Evil 6, as it actually focuses on characters from the main RE story-line. Moreover, the RE3, RE4 ,and RE5 articles do not have a sequel section. The continuity of the series should be mentioned in the main article. -- StarScream1007 ►Talk 18:06, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
Adngel:
Agree, RE7 is too disconnected to be considered a RE6 sequel, and there are not reason to mention it specifically nor consider it like sequel:
Over that, in June of 2017 was released a CGI movie Resident Evil: Vendetta on exclusive cinema events, this movie aimed to follow the Resident Evil 6 path and during its presentation during the Tokyo Game Show 2016, the own producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi, described it like the Resident Evil 6 sequel which was going to be loved by the Resident Evil 6 fans. Such presentation can be watched between the extras the bluray version.
If the mention of Resident Evil 7 persists, I think it will more accurate do the same with the other games that were released in the same period, (specially Resident Evil Revelations 2 which was an more direct answer to the RE6 feedback and RE: Vendetta which is much more related to RE6 than RE7 or Umbrella Corps). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adngel ( talk • contribs) 23:08, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
This article has a done a very solid job at describing Resident Evil 6 in great detail. All information has proper citations and reliable sources. The sources are interviews and other articles relating to the game. The viewpoints are very neatural I don't feel any sort of bias from reading the article which is really great. Music reviewers really could take a lesson from everyone that's contributed to this page. Everything in the Article is related to the topic. Suggestion 1: for an addition to the gameplay mechanic: Further describe the J'avo enemies by stating that during the game, they're susceptible to transformations based on the locations of their injury. Making them a harder threat to deal with than regular zombies Suggestion 2: The reception job does an amazing job talking about the game's reception to the public. However If I were to make a suggestion here I'd say it'd probably be worth while to add a few more quotes or testimonials for examples of what those have said about the game. Suggestion 3: The article definitely feels like it has a lot more room for pictures and other screenshots from the game. I think the article has a few good pictures but there could've been more to further illustrate different elements in the game. Welshtor ( talk) 20:11, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
